John Calipari, tell us how you really feel about getting a No. 4 seed?

The Kentucky coach was on ESPN on Sunday night and went off on a tremendous rant about his team being seeded No. 4 in the East bracket and scheduled to play Stony Brook in a first round game in Des Moines, Iowa.

“I”m happy for A&M. They got a 3. I said, ”What in the world, are we going to get a 3 or 2? And I was surprised we didn”t get a 5.

“I always say this, when you misseed a team, it”s not that team you hurt. It”s the team they play. That”s who you hurt.”

At this point, Calipari references the 2014 tournament when Kentucky was seeded eighth and met up with an undefeated top ranked Wichita State team in the second round. The Wildcats beat the Shockers on a run that landed them in the national title game.

“There”s no way they should”ve played us in the second round,” Calipari said.

As for the NCAA selection committee, know this: you aren”t taking the fun away from the UK coach.

“And the end of the day, they”re not stealing my joy,” Calipari said. “That little group of 10 who says, ”This year, it”s top-50 wins, last year it was road wins, two years ago it was RPI.” It”s a moving target instead of making it ”This is how we”re going to rate these teams.” They”re not stealing my joy. We just won a championship. We”ll go to Des Moines.

“I wouldn”t have minded going to Anchorage. I thought they”d try to send us to Anchorage because look, I watch Alaska Bush People and The Last Frontier and I would”ve had the Kilchers behind my bench, it would”ve been unbelievable up there. Maybe had the Warriors, throw them in there. It would”ve been fun. They”re not stealing my joy. If they think they are, they”re out of their mind. They build my team up. Thank you! Thank you!”

He went on to explain those last words were his best Dick Vitale impersonation.
